I have to make some functions that will use different lanaguages (python, R, js).
I got stuck at the part of generating random numbers in Python to initialize a list with random elements. I looked up on ways of initializing random lists, and then I decided to use result = polyglot.eval("python", "[random.randint(0,10) for i in range(20)];").
The problem that I face now is that I need to import the "random" library from python, or whatever libraries will I need from different languages. I heard that it might be a problem with the dependencies, but I am not sure...
What am I supposed to do? Is it even possible to import libraries from more languages in a single project? What other alternatives do I have?
Note that solution for different dynamic languages may differ.
Also js component is stable, while python (as of 2021) is still experimental.
Here is example for Python with modules
https://github.com/paulvi/java-python-graalvm-template
And if you really do polyglot (using Python object in Java code),
see https://github.com/hpi-swa-lab/graalpython-java-example
There is still issue how to actually deploy this in production
https://github.com/hpi-swa-lab/graalpython-java-example/issues/6
as just bundling venv subfolder into jar, will just work.
One solution is in ttps://github.com/paulvi/java-python-graalvm-template
Also randon, i.e. any library with graalvm is still big issue, as different packages have different issues, see https://github.com/oracle/graalpython/issues/228
I suggest, that before really mixing a lot of languages, just try one, e.g. js that is more stable, make it work, and then try next.
BTW PyCharm does not yet support graalpython.
If you do any open source, or later find somethin new, please let me know via GitHub issue

The title tells it all:
Does breezy fully replace bzr, at least in msys2?
E.g., by aliasing.
I found little info on this:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/80740
Yes, Breezy is a full replacement for Bazaar. It's derived from the Bazaar codebase, and compatible with the Bazaar command-line interface.
There are a large number of changes to the internal API, but unless you use third-party plugins or use scripts that use the bzrlib API, that should not be relevant to you.
We've also dropped support for a number of older platforms (e.g. Windows '95 and '98). I don't think msys2 was ever explicitly supported as a platform, but we're happy to help fix any issues you may run into. See https://www.breezy-vcs.org/pages/support.html for ways to reach out to us.
You can read more about the rationale for the fork here:

I have already built pypi package stored on pypi server few days back. Now I want to compare source code diff between already built pypi package and recent code built today. Is there any way to this?
I want to compare already built pypi package and newly build code. And If there is any difference in source code then only create a new package and upload it to pypi server
If you have only Python bytecodes, you cannot get the corresponding source code (that hypothetical transformation is called decompilation, and is not possible in general; read e.g. about Rice's theorem). Since any translation (such as the one done by the python program) from source code to bytecode is losing some information (e.g. name of local variables, comments explaining the intent of the code).
Equality of the behavior of functions by static analysis of their source code (and the observable behavior of your code is what you really care about) is an undecidable problem. Learn more about λ-calculus, it is deeply related to that question.
The source code (by definition, the preferred form of code on which developers work) is not only for computers, but mostly for fellow developers: in other words, most of its value and its meaning is a social one (and that is what free software is about). Read more about the semantics of programs.
For example, renaming a variable from i to x may convey the implicit hypothesis that the intended dynamic runtime type of the value of that variable was an integer, and becomes a floating point.
Maybe you want some kind of package manager (or some version control system, if you deal with source code, or some build automation tool, if you build then install software out of it). Python has something to manage packages. The scons build automation uses Python, but there are many other build automation tools, GNU make being a common one (that you could use to drive compilation from .py source files to .pyc bytecode files and their installation). For version control, I recommend git.
PS. Your question is very unclear and smells like some XY problem.
I already using the minify argument when building with dart2js.
I looked at the output and I see that the import 'dart:html causes problems in terms of the output file size (2kb .dart file becomes 182kb .js file). For example it imports SVG package though in my code I never touch any <svg> DOM Elements.
I understand that the compiler doesn't know if I'm going to use svg DOM Elements or not. And I understand that the using of var is one of the reasons of that behavior.
But if I will not use any var keywords, the compiler still doesn't have enough 'power' to strip all unused packages and functions.
Is there any directive I can use to forbid the import of certain packages. I mean built-in packages right now. I'm using IntelliJ IDEA and it doesn't allow me to change anything in the Dart default setup.
UPD: Tried to use
import 'dart:html' show querySelector, Element
to import only that method and class, but file size is still 182kb.
The only solution I see for now is to make a few stripped versions of the default 'dart:html' package. The one without WebGL, SVG and some other features.
Because maybe Dart compiler works good, but there is just some methods and classes that I don't use, but the code uses. Like.. the initial package methods checking if some elements are SVG or something like that.
There is a tool for analyzing the output of a dart2js build, especially for references and dependencies. Just tested and gave a better overview in my case.
https://github.com/dart-lang/dump-info-visualizer
hosted :
https://dart-lang.github.io/dump-info-visualizer/
Build with option --dump-info
https://webdev.dartlang.org/tools/dart2js#options
Even when you don't import anything you will get some minimal output size. Dart provides a lot of features like classes with inheritance and mixins (and a lot more) and dart2js output contains code that implements these features.
This is like adding a JS library like jQuery.
Therefore main() {} will already result in an output size of several dozen kb. Adding another line of code probably will only add a few additional bytes.
pub build by default does tree-shaking and minifications, therefore no additional options are required.
I have been reading about semver. I really like the general idea. However, when it comes to putting it to practice, I feel like I'm missing some key pieces of information. I'm not sure where the name of a library exists, or what to do with file variants. For instance, is the file name something like [framework]-[semver].min.js? Are there popular JavaScript frameworks that use semver? I don't know of any.
Thank you!
Let me try to explain you.
If you are not developing a library that you like to keep for years to come, don't bother about it.. If you prefer to version every development, read the following.
Suppose you are an architect or developer developing a library that is aimed to be used by hundreds of developers over time, in a distributed manner. You really need to be cautious of what you are doing, what your developers are adding (so interesting features that grabs your attention to push those changes in the currently distributed file). You dont know how do you tell your library users to upgrade. In what scenarios? People followed some sort of versioning, and interestingly, their thoughts all are working fine.
Then why do you need semver ?
It says "There should be a concrete specification for anything for a group of people to follow anything collectively, even though they know it in their minds". With that thought, they made a specification. They have made their observation and clubbed all the best practices in the world about versioning software mainly, and given a single website where they listed them. that is semver.org. Its main principles are :
Imagine you have already released your library with a version "lib.1.0.98", Now follow these rules for subsequent development.
Let your library is bundled and named as xyz and,
Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, (like xyz.MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH), increment the:
1. MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes
(existing code of users of your library breaks if they adapt this without code changes in their programs),
2. MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner
(existing code works, and some improvements in performance and features also), and
3. PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
If you are not a developer or are not in a position to develop a library of a standard, you need not worry at all about semver.
Finally, the famous [d3] library follows this practice.
Semantic Versioning only defines how to name your versions. It does not specify what you will do with your version number afterwards. You can put the version numbers in package names, you can store it in a properties file inside your application, or just publish it in a wiki. All those options are opened to discussion and not part of the problem space addressed by SemVer.
semver is used by npm and bower (and perhaps some other tools) for dependency management. Using semver it is possible to decide which versions of which packages to use if multiple libraries used depend on the same library.
As others have said, semantic versioning is a standard versioning scheme that tells your users which versions of your library should be compatible with each other, and which ones are not.
The idea, is to be able to give your users more confidence that it's safe to upgrade to a newer patch/version, because it's tried, tested, and true to being backwards compatible with the previous version (minor increments). That is, perceptively that's what your telling your users.
As far as tooling goes, I don't do much in javascript, but I typically let my build server handle stamping my assemblies etc with the correct version. I have a static major number I upgrade whenever I make breaking changes, a static minor number I upgrade everytime I add new features, and an auto-incrementing Patch number whenever I checkin bug fixes.
Especially if this is a javascript library you plan to share on a public repository of some kind (nuget, gem, etc) you probably want some for of automated packaging system, and you put the logic in there for specifying your version number (in the package meta data, in the name of the javascript file, which is typically the standard I've seen).
Take a look at sbt which is the Scala Build Tool. In it, we write dependencies like this:
val scalatest = "org.scalatest" %% "core" % "2.1.7" "test"
val jodatime = "org.joda" % "jodatime" % "1.4.5"
Wherein the operator %% means "the current version of Scala that you're building." Packaging things in this language generally create JAR files with the name like this <my project>_<scala version>_<library version>.jar which is quite handy for semantically naming things automagically. The % operator can be interpreted as "don't version this part."
That said, this resulted from the fact that the same library compiled to different Scala versions were not binary compatible with each other. So it was more as a result of, rather than a conscious design choice, the binary incompatibilities.
Suppose I am working on exposing some of my server-side classes to a GWT application, but certain parts could be done much better using GWT-specific components (like JSNI, for instance).
What are some techniques for doing so without being too hacky?
For instance, I am aware of using a subpackage and using the <super-source/> tag, but this requires the package names to be different, which causes eclipse to complain. The general solution in the community is to then tell eclipse to use that as a source folder, but then eclipse complains about there being two classes with the same name.
Ideally, there would just be a way to keep everything in a single source tree, and actually have different classes which apply the alternate implementations. This would feel like a more OO approach.
I would like to add a suffix to a class like _gwt which accomplishes this automatically, and I know I could write a script to do this kind of transformation, but that is a kludge for sure.
I've been considering using Google's GIN/GUICE libraries for my projects in general, and I think there might be some kind of a solution there, but I am not sure as I have not thoroughly investigated it.
What are some solutions you have tried in the past on GWT projects?
The easiest way to have split implementations is to use super-source code, but only enough to instantiate a uniquely-named instance or dispatch to a different method. Ideally, the super-source implementation is just a few lines long, and not so bad that you can't roll it by hand.
To work around the Eclipse / javac double-mapping and package name issues, the GWT source uses two top-level roots for user code: user/src and user/super. For example, the AutoBeans package has a split-implementation of JSON quoting and evaluation, one for the JVM and one for the browser.
There's really no non-kludgy way to implement super-source, as this is a feature way outside what you can specify in the language. There's nothing that lets you say "use this implementation in this environment" without the use of some external tool.
